Siege of Stirling (1296)

The Siege of Stirling (1296) was a battle of the Anglo-Scots Wars which saw Scotland destroy an English outpost and win a victory over them.

History
After the English sacked Perth, stole the fabled Stone of Scone, and usurped the Kingdom of Scotland, the Scots decided that the time for small skirmishes was over. At Stirling, the Scots built up their village with several military barracks and developed an army to fight against the English. The Scots stormed the English base to the west, burning down the wooden stockade wall before charging in and destroying the English outpost. They killed several English troops, and they won a victory over England.
